Department Head Reports were as follows: 

 

Street Department - Street Superintendent Harold Hovick reported the sewer line at the pool was televised and a fair size hole in the drain area was located.  The contractor should be able to fix the hole from inside the filter house. The main drain lines were also televised, but nothing significant was seen.  It will need to be pressure tested again once the hole in the sewer line is fixed.  Included a copy of the proposal for painting the markings on N-S Cottonwood and E-W Maple Streets.  He also reported that he looked at the signs in Bondurant and they are eye catching.  They used two flashing lights.  One on top and one on the bottom of a “slow down” sign.  The cost to have the signs made and installed was approximately $3000.00 per sign.

 

Water/Wastewater Department – Water/Wastewater Superintendent Dean Uitermark reported that the two service lines on S Main were replaced and hooked up to the new 8” main.  He’d like to change all the service lines in that area over to the new main so the old cast iron one can be eliminated.
